To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 644: I Don’t Remember Saying That I Love You

He wasn’t the only one. Li Qianxue was shocked as well. Unable to react in time, she stood at the side.

“Qingsang, are you going into labor?” Huo Jinyao, who was already in a daze, asked again.

Su Qingsang couldn’t answer his question. She grabbed his arm tightly and said, “Quick, take me to the hospital.”

Huo Jinyao finally reacted after gritting his teeth and saying those words.

“Hospital? Yes, hospital. Quick, I’ll carry you to the hospital.”

He couldn’t care less about Li Qianxue, who was standing at the side. He carried Su Qingsang and headed to the parking lot. Li Qianxue wanted to stop them, but she slapped her forehead and quickly went back into the house to tell the Huo family and the Li family about the news.

Huo Jinyao had the urge to fly to the hospital. However, it had snowed yesterday. No matter how anxious he was, he had to take the road condition into consideration.

He couldn’t speed up, so he became more and more nervous, especially when he saw Su Qingsang’s pale face.

“How is it? Qingsang, are you in a lot of pain? Bear with me, it’ll be fast.” Although he said so, he couldn’t go fast on the road with the snow.

Su Qingsang only had a stomachache. She knew that it was still too early for her to give birth. Seeing that Huo Jinyao’s face was pale, she tried to comfort him.

“Huo Jinyao, you forgot one thing.”

“What?”

“You didn’t bring the delivery bag.”

The delivery bag was ready at home, but Huo Jinyao was so busy taking her to the hospital that he didn’t bring it with him.

“Then what should we do?”

Huo Jinyao didn’t even dare to slam the brakes. He slowed down the car and his face was full of anxiety. “What should we do?”

“Don’t be so nervous. Don’t worry, my mom will bring it over. Now, you just have to focus on driving.”

Driving, yes, driving.

Huo Jinyao focused on driving again, but he couldn’t resist turning his head to look at Su Qingsang from time to time.

Su Qingsang’s stomach hurt. In order to divert her attention, she took out her phone and called Sun Huiya. She told her that she might be in labor. She was relieved when she received a positive answer from Sun Huiya, saying that she would rush to the hospital immediately.

She hung up the phone and looked out of the car window.

It had snowed in Rong City, and the entire city was covered in snow. It was like a fairyland.

The pain in her abdomen began to intensify. She adjusted her breathing and tried her best to calm herself down.

Huo Jinyao rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.

Huo Jinyao often went to the First Hospital of Lin City, as well as its obstetrics and gynecology department. But, he had never been in such a state of anxiety and panic as he was in now.

He ran as fast as he could with Su Qingsang in his arms. Sun Huiya lived close to the hospital, so she was already there.

Other than Sun Huiya, there were also some experienced doctors like assistant director Shen Lingyun, Yang Lu, Ling Fei, and Li Ting.

Su Qingsang was carrying twins. If possible, she hoped to give birth naturally. However, they had to examine Su Qingsang first.

Sun Huiya first arranged for Su Qingsang to undergo some basic examinations while Huo Jinyao accompanied her.

After the examination, Sun Huiya and Su Qingsang looked at the data together.

“Qingsang, you’re in good condition now. Try to deliver the baby naturally.”

“Okay.” Su Qingsang was a doctor herself. She didn’t need Sun Huiya to say anything more and cooperated the entire time.

Soon, the other members of the Huo family arrived. Old Master Huo, Huo Mingguang, Huo Mingguang’s wife, and the Li family.

Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang with worry in her eyes.

“Qingsang? How are you? Can you do it? Why don’t you just let them cut you open?”

Li Qianxue didn’t care about anything else. She only wanted her daughter to be well.

“Mom.” Su Qingsang was really in pain, but Li Qianxue’s concern made her feel warm and a little helpless. “Dr. Sun said that the condition is very good. I can give birth on my own. Don’t try to persuade me.”

“But –”

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m a doctor myself. I know what’s best. I won’t joke about my own body.”

“Then, I’ll go in with you.”

“Mom, don’t accompany me. Grandpa is still here. Don’t you want to accompany Grandpa? Don’t worry. Director Sun and Director Shen are both very experienced. They’ve delivered many twins. There’s no problem at all. Don’t worry.”

No matter how worried Li Qianxue was, she could only choose to trust Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang was planning to enter the delivery room. She had been there many times. She always delivered babies for others, and this was the first time she went in to give birth on her own.

“Qingsang.” Huo Jinyao stepped forward, he held her hand and said, “Qingsang, how are you? Does it still hurt? Can you give birth on your own? Are there any problems? Are you in danger? I’ve seen on TV that it’s difficult to give birth. Why don’t you listen to your mom and perform a caesarean Section?”

“Are you scared?” Su Qingsang asked jokingly. This was the first time she had seen Huo Jinyao rambling and nervous.

She was joking, but Huo Jinyao nodded seriously.

“Yes. I’m so scared.”

Su Qingsang froze for a moment. Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly and said, “I’m really scared. Qingsang, you’ll be fine, right?”

“Of course.” It was the first time Su Qingsang had seen Huo Jinyao in such a panic. Her stomach was hurting, but because of his reaction, she felt that the pain wasn’t as intense anymore.

“Director Sun is here. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao’s mental state. She originally wanted him to accompany her into the delivery room, but seeing him like this, she decided to forget about it.

“Just wait outside.”

“No.” Huo Jinyao was very determined. “I want to go in with you.”

“Are you sure?” Su Qingsang was rather calm. “Actually, you don’t need to go in with me. Be it Director Sun or Director Shen, they’re both very experienced doctors. With them around, I’ll definitely be fine.”

“I want to go in with you.”

Huo Jinyao was very insistent. Su Qingsang nodded. “Okay, but you must not cause any more trouble later.”

“I promise I won’t.” Huo Jinyao raised three fingers and promised.

However, when he really went into the delivery room, Huo Jinyao realized that he seemed to have spoken too early.

Su Qingsang was very calm, even calmer than when she was on the operating table. She slept on the delivery bed and listened to Sun Huiya talk about some things to take note of.

“When I tell you to use more force later, you can use more force.”

“Okay.”

Su Qingsang was in a lot of pain and her face was pale from the pain. However, Huo Jinyao’s face was paler than hers.

“Honey, if you’re in pain, you can bite my hand.”

Huo Jinyao held her hand very hard. It was obvious that he was extremely nervous. Su Qingsang’s calmness was a stark contrast to his nervousness.

“Why would I bite your hand for no reason?”

“Aren’t you in pain?”

“I can take it.”

“Don’t take it. Bite me instead.”

Su Qingsang took a deep breath and said, “Huo Jinyao, calm down. Don’t forget, I’m a doctor.”

“Oh.” Huo Jinyao looked at her face, which was getting paler and paler. His breathing was getting heavier and heavier, and the sweat on his forehead was getting heavier and heavier.

“Honey, are you really not going to bite me?”

Sun Huiya had already started to prepare for the delivery. Seeing Huo Jinyao like this, she felt like laughing for some reason. She held it in.

“Shut up.” Su Qingsang glared at him. “Don’t talk.”

“Qingsang, you can start to exert force now.”

Su Qingsang started to exert force. She didn’t scream like a normal pregnant woman. It was useless and would cause her to lose energy.

When Sun Huiya said to exert her strength, she exerted it. When she said to relax, she relaxed.

“Good, that’s it. Come, take a deep breath, exert your strength.”

Su Qingsang exerted her strength, but she felt that Huo Jinyao’s breathing was getting heavier and heavier.

“Honey.” Huo Jinyao had never felt so weak in his 31 years of life.

He held Su Qingsang’s hand tightly and asked, “Why isn’t the child out yet?”

“...” Su Qingsang didn’t have time to talk to him. She finally realized that letting Huo Jinyao in was a mistake.

“I can already see the head. Qingsang, don’t be distracted. Use more strength.”

Huo Jinyao became more and more nervous. Su Qingsang could even feel that her wrist was about to turn red from his pinching.

She was in severe pain, not only at the bottom, but also at the top.

“Huo Jinyao, let go of my hand,” she said through gritted teeth, but her voice was too soft for Huo Jinyao to hear.

He was completely distracted by Sun Huiya’s words.

“Qingsang, did you hear that? The baby is coming out.”

Su Qingsang didn’t want to talk to him anymore. With the thought of breaking free from his hand, she exerted force. She felt something coming out of her body.

“It’s out, it’s out.”

“It’s a boy. Congratulations, congratulations.”

Sun Huiya carried the child out, and Huo Jinyao’s grip tightened.

“Qingsang, Qingsang, did you hear that? It’s out, it’s out.”

Su Qingsang didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She had ears, she could hear it herself.

She heard the sound of the child crying, but she didn’t even have time to relax before her stomach started hurting even more.

She had been in pain for too long just now, so much so that she couldn’t hold on any longer.

Sun Huiya’s expression was grave. She placed her hand on Su Qingsang’s stomach and looked at Su Qingsang’s pale and exhausted face.

“Qingsang, you can’t relax. There’s another one in your stomach.”

Huo Jinyao’s joy didn’t last for more than ten seconds. Sun Huiya’s words made him nervous as well.

“There’s... There’s another one?”

“Yes.” Sun Huiya had delivered twins before. She had a lot of experience. “Qingsang, take a rest first. We’ll start pushing later and give birth to the other child.”

“Okay.” Su Qingsang was weak. She had used up most of her energy just now, and now she was really weak.

Ling Fei took the warm water that she had prepared earlier and gave it to Su Qingsang to drink.

She took two sips and closed her eyes to rest.

“Qingsang, you can’t fall asleep.” Sun Huiya was afraid that she would fall asleep. “Wait a moment, I’ll help you check the condition of the other child now.”.

Su Qingsang was speechless and could only nod her head helplessly. Huo Jinyao saw her current state and felt his heart ache.

Not intending to look at the newborn at all, he held Su Qingsang’s hand tightly.

“Qingsang, listen to me. The position inside isn’t right, but don’t be nervous. Let’s work hard together.”

Su Qingsang was already out of strength. She looked at Sun Huiya and nodded silently.

Sun Huiya’s expression was grave. It was difficult to give birth to twins naturally. It required both babies to be in a normal position with their heads facing down. But now that one child was born, the other child’s arm was exposed first.

She and Shen Lingyun looked at each other and saw the solemn expression in each other’s eyes.

Su Qingsang really didn’t have any strength left. The pain in her stomach was even worse than before. It was as if she was being stabbed in the stomach continuously. The pain was so intense that beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead.

Trying to adjust the position of the fetus, Sun Huiya placed her hand on her stomach. Su Qingsang was in so much pain that her body began to twitch.

Huo Jinyao felt like he was going to faint. He couldn’t care less about the child at all. All his attention was on Su Qingsang.

“Qingsang? Qingsang, are you okay? Are you okay?”

Su Qingsang couldn’t respond to him. She was in so much pain that she didn’t even have the strength to respond.

“Director... Director Sun.”

“Child, can you turn around?”

She gritted her teeth and asked these two questions, then she met Sun Huiya’s solemn face.

“I’m trying to help you adjust the position of the fetus. Don’t be nervous. You’re a doctor too. You know such a situation is normal.”

“...”

Su Qingsang had checked the information before. If some twins were born naturally, they would need a long time to be born. Almost all the twins she had delivered in the past weren’t born naturally. They were mostly delivered by caesarean section.

Since she had decided to go through a normal delivery, there was no way it would be as easy as a caesarean section.

She closed her eyes to rest. She was extremely sleepy, lethargic, pained, and tired. She could carelyhold on any longer.

When she was a doctor, she knew that pregnancy and childbirth were very tiring. However, she didn’t expect it to be this tiring.

“Qingsang, wake up. Don’t sleep.”

She heard Sun Huiya’s voice in a daze. Not only hers, but she also heard Huo Jinyao’s voice.

She wanted to open her eyes, but it was very difficult. She couldn’t open them at all. Her body was in so much pain that she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes.

“Qingsang, wake up. The child is coming out. You have to cooperate with me.”

“Qingsang?”

“Qingsang –”

She heard people calling her incessantly beside her, but she couldn’t open her eyes. She was so tired, as if she had lost all her strength.

At that moment, Su Qingsang was no longer the calm and rational doctor. She knew that there was another one in her stomach, but she was too tired and had no strength left.

“Qingsang? Qingsang.”

Huo Jinyao looked at the pale and powerless Su Qingsang. He realized that he couldn’t wake her up no matter how hard he tried.

He was terrified and looked at Sun Huiya. “What do we do, Dr. Sun? Qingsang won’t wake up now. Why don’t we perform a c-section on her?”

“We can’t perform a c-section now.” Sun Huiya’s expression was more serious than before. “The child’s head has already fallen down and is stuck at the entrance of the uterus. At this time, we can only wake her up and let her give birth to the child herself.”

“Qingsang, did you hear that? Qingsang, wake up quickly.”

Huo Jinyao had never been so panicked in his life. He was at a loss. He didn’t know what to do.

He held Su Qingsang’s hand tightly and kissed her sweaty cheek continuously.

“Qingsang, wake up. We still have a baby. Don’t fall asleep. Try harder. Don’t fall asleep, okay?”

Su Qingsang couldn’t hear him, or perhaps she could hear him, but she couldn’t wake up.

She just felt tired. She felt very tired, very tired. She didn’t have any strength left, let alone strength to have a baby.

“Qingsang?”

“Qingsang?” Sun Huiya’s expression was quite ugly. She reached out and pinched Su Qingsang’s body. “Qingsang, wake up. Try harder. Wake up. It only takes one time. Wake up.”

Su Qingsang felt perturbed and tired at the same time. It was indeed true that people don’t know how things are until they experience it themselves, especially since doctors can’t treat themsleves.

In fact, her previous performance had been quite good, but she was pregnant with twins.

“Qingsang?”

Huo Jinyao called Su Qingsang a few times, but he couldn’t wake her up. His heart became more and more flustered.

He held her hand, bent down, and placed his hand on her face. He leaned down and looked at Su Qingsang, who had her eyes tightly shut and was completely exhausted.

“Qingsang, I beg you, wake up. Listen to me, there’s something I’ve never told you. Don’t you want to know what it is?”

Su Qingsang heard him, but she was really too tired and in too much pain. She didn’t have the strength.

“Qingsang.” Huo Jinyao kissed her cheek a little too hard. He wasn’t even afraid of hurting her. He wanted her to wake up.

“Qingsang, I love you.”

He kissed her forehead, her eyelids, the tip of her nose, and her lips.

Looking at Su Qingsang, who was unresponsive, Huo Jinyao felt his eyes begin to ache and swell.

“Qingsang, did you hear that? I love you. I really, really love you.”

He didn’t see the slight movement between Su Qingsang’s eyebrows. He simply pressed his face against hers.

“Do you still remember the first time we met?”

“It was also at the hospital. You stood in the corridor of the hospital and said to cancel the wedding in such an imposing manner. At that time, I thought, this woman was really decisive and tough.”

“You proposed to me, and you asked me if I wanted to marry you. You didn’t see the look in your eyes at that time.”

There was a hint of nervousness in her anticipation. She was afraid that she would be rejected, afraid that she would lose face, especially in front of such a scumbag.

Huo Jinyao saw the hint of weakness in her stubborn eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

He generously agreed to her request, and he agreed to marry her. At that moment, he thought, what’s the big deal? Isn’t it just getting married?

His grandpa had been wanting him to get married for a long time now anyway. With this woman’s personality, Grandpa should like her, right?

Life after marriage was much better than he had imagined. Su Qingsang’s personality appeared cold on the surface, but deep down, she was as passionate as fire.

Her coldness was to protect herself, and it was only directed at strangers.

After slowly understanding her background, her personality, and everything about her, Huo Jinyao realized that his heart now belonged to Su Qingsang.

Because of the incident during his childhood, although he didn’t seem to have any problems on the surface, only he knew that there was a wall in his heart.

Not just anyone could enter the heart of an iron wall. However, Su Qingsang was able to push down his wall bit by bit and stubbornly moved in.

“Qingsang, I love you. Do you hear me? Wake up quickly, okay?”

“...”

In his life, he had never cried for anyone other than his family. The few times he was touched were all because of Su Qingsang.

Now, Huo Jinyao’s eyes were filled with tears. He enjoyed his married life with Su Qingsang, and he liked seeing her every day after work.

He loved the warmth of her presence in the house. He loved her by his side, even if she didn’t do anything.

Without Su Qingsang, he couldn’t imagine how he would live such a long life in the future?

“Qingsang, I’m begging you. Wake up, I promise you. As long as you wake up, I’ll listen to you in everything from now on.”

“Qingsang...”

He felt that his face was a little itchy, and he instinctively stepped back. He met Su Qingsang’s face.

She was still weak and pale, but her eyes were open.

“You... are so noisy.”

After saying these three words, she looked at Sun Huiya. “Director Sun...”

“The child is coming out. You have to work harder.”

Sun Huiya saw that she was awake, and her face was full of joy. Although the situation just now wasn’t dangerous for adults, it was easy for children to suffocate if they were stuck in there for too long.

“Come, Qingsang, listen to me. Cooperate with me. When I say harder, you start pushing. Just once, let’s try to succeed once and give birth to the child.”

Su Qingsang nodded weakly.

“One, two, three, push!”

Su Qingsang really didn’t have any strength left. Amidst the pain and exhaustion, she saw that Huo Jinyao’s face was as white as a sheet of paper.

She suddenly raised her hand and gently caressed his hand. Huo Jinyao grabbed her hand and pressed it tightly against his face.

“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang used all her strength and squeezed out the words, “I love you too!”

After saying that, she used all her strength, and the feeling of relaxation really came this time.

Something left her body, and she heard Sun Huiya’s voice.

“Yes. This is the daughter. Qingsang, you gave birth to a pair of twins.”

Su Qingsang curled her lips. She wanted to smile, but she couldn’t.

All her perseverance had been used up in that instant. Su Qingsang, who had relaxed, passed out completely.

Before she passed out, she only heard Huo Jinyao’s extremely shrill and panicked cry.

“Qingsang! Qingsang!”

..

The people who came to visit her in the ward came and went. They came and went. But Su Qingsang, who had fallen asleep, didn’t wake up.

Huo Jinyao stayed by Su Qingsang’s side. He didn’t have time to care about other people, nor did he have time to care about the children.

Sun Huiya had told him that Su Qingsang was fine. She had only fallen asleep because she had lost too much blood and exhausted her energy after giving birth to two children in a row.

However, he couldn’t be at ease until Su Qingsang woke up.

He held her hand and allowed the people who came to watch Su Qingsang to come and go without letting go of her hand.

It had been a day since Su Qingsang gave birth. Today was the third day of the New Year. However, Su Qingsang still wasn’t awake.

Huo Jinyao couldn’t sit still. He resisted the urge to ring the bell and told himself that he must believe in Director Sun and Su Qingsang.

It had been snowing for the past two days. In the evening, the snow outside finally stopped.

Huo Jinyao looked out the window and then at Su Qingsang. He put her hand on his face again.

“Qingsang? Look, the snow has stopped. Didn’t you say that you like to make snowmen? Wake up quickly. I’ll make snowmen for you to see when you wake up.”

“Qingsang, you gave birth to a pair of twins. The doctors in your hospital all said that you’re amazing. Don’t you want to get up and see the child?”

To Huo Jinyao’s disappointment, Su Qingsang didn’t wake up no matter what he said this time.

His heart began to become anxious.

When Sun Huiya entered the ward to see Su Qingsang again, he couldn’t help it anymore.

“Director Sun, tell me, Qingsang has been sleeping for an entire day. What will it take for her to wake up?”
